The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation dished out $72 million in grants to American universities to create “anti-racist” curricula and programming. 

According to the Mellon Foundation’s website, 16 “multidisciplinary, university-based teams across the US who are committed to racial justice and social equality” received up to five million dollars to work on “anti-racist” projects. Projects were supposed to be “ambitious” and address racial inequality in “bold and imaginative ways.”
